Trick riddles are often funny. Well, the answer will definitely cause a smile. After all, it is assumed that the answer to such a riddle is not easy to find, and it is not as predictable as it seems. Most often in trick riddles there is some apparent contradiction in the condition.

Difficult logic puzzle from Lyuben Dilov's book "Star Adventures of Numi and Nika"
The girl Numi, from the planet Pyrrha, asks the earthly boy Nicky a riddle:
One glof and two mules weigh as much as one dabel and four lacies. In turn, one dabel weighs as much as two lazi. One glof and three lacies weigh together as much as one dabel, two mulphs and six kraks. One glof weighs as much as two dabels. The question is, how much krak must be added to one mulf to get the weight of two dabels and one lazi?
Answer with a hint of the solution:
So, Nikolai Buyanovsky took out a draft notebook from his briefcase, or, as he dubbed it, a notebook on all kinds of knowledge, and a pen, and Numi slowly began to dictate to him the weight of all these mysterious dabels, mulf, lazi and krak. And when, having written everything down in order and changing some places in his mind, he compiled several short equations, and then, suddenly guessing, reduced the weight of all the data to the weight of the same mysterious creatures, the answer seemed to come out by itself. The task was logical, and in this part Nika Buyan was a god and a king.
"Eight," he said confidently. “You have to add eight krak to that mulf of yours.

Sitting and standing, on the move and in transport, you can play puzzles. Here is a fun and fruitful pastime.Guessing riddles brings undoubted benefits. This is the development of intelligence, and memory training, and a fascinating way to learn a lot about various subjects.
Guessing riddles is a kind of test of human ingenuity.
Welcome to the world of mysteries, where so many incredible discoveries are hidden!
Puzzles.
Definition.
- If I were asked to name the most poetic phenomenon created by man with the help of the word, I would say without hesitation: these are riddles. But, unfortunately, we know them so poorly, and so little is the time that is allotted at school to get to know them!
What is puzzles? If you give them the traditional short definition, then it can be like this. Puzzles- this is an allegorical image of objects or phenomena of reality that are proposed to be guessed. Indeed, for example, in enigma“The matryoshka stands on one leg, wrapped up, tangled” cabbage is allegorically represented. But, of course, under this one definition it is impossible to substitute all riddles. After all, the material that we perceive as riddles is much richer. For example, in the riddle about the river “Flows, flows - does not flow out, runs, runs - does not run out” there is no allegory, it contains a description of the river, but there is no image of an object that would allegorically remind of the river. There are other types of riddles. For example, such: “What can a person not live without?” Answer: No name. Or: “What is the softest thing in the world?” Turns out it's a hand. These are riddles that require unconventional thinking from the guesser. After all, it is necessary to give one out of a huge number of possible answers, but one with which everyone would agree. You never know, for example, without which a person cannot live! And without water, and without air, and without food. But still, an unexpected guess - "Without a name" - will satisfy, perhaps, everyone. Indeed, not only a person cannot live without water, air, food… But only people (everyone!) get names.
This example testifies to another feature of such riddles. The answer should be original, unexpected, often causing a smile. And there are many riddles that have comic answers. Well, for example: “Which month is the shortest?” Ordinary answer: February. But the correct one is "May" (only three letters!). “What stones are not in the sea?” - "Dry".
These types riddles could be called as follows: riddles-allegory, riddles-descriptions and riddles-questions. But there is another type riddles: riddles-tasks. They are very similar to puzzles from school textbooks, if not for one circumstance. Here, for example, is one of these riddles: “A flock of geese flew, towards them one goose. “Hello,” he says, “one hundred geese!” - “No, we are not a hundred geese. If there were so many more, yes half as many, yes a quarter as many, yes you, goose, then there would be a hundred of us geese. "How many geese flew?" Answer: 36 geese. The task is purely arithmetic, it requires the guessing ability to count. But there are other tasks as well. For example: “There was a hunter. I saw three crows on a tree and fired. One killed. How much is left on the tree? The "reasonable" answer is purely arithmetic: there are two crows left on the tree. But no! He killed one, and the rest flew away ... Or: “A flock of geese flew, the hunters killed one. How much is left?" Of course one is dead.
We see that riddles-tasks, like riddles-questions, are extraordinary, they are really tests for ingenuity, they develop, activate our mental activity. And this combines riddles-questions with riddles-tasks; they undoubtedly have similarities in this with riddles-allegories, riddles-descriptions. After all, the tasks proposed in riddles-allegories and riddles-descriptions require intelligence, non-standard thinking: to see the extraordinary in the ordinary, and the ordinary in the unusual.
Thus, all these small forms of folklore are united in their life purpose: they are of an educational nature, they contribute to the development of human mental activity. That is why we study them in school.
However, not only the vital purpose unites these types riddles. It is impossible not to notice that they are all built on a paradox. Translated from Greek, “paradox” means an unexpected phenomenon that sharply contradicts common sense, at odds with generally accepted opinion. We have seen that riddles are built on unusual comparisons, expected in line with common sense, generally accepted guesses turn out to be false, and just the most unexpected, but the only true ones, are correct.
The similarity of these four types of riddles is also in their construction. The composition of all riddles without exception is two-part: the first part is a question, the second is an answer. This is very clearly seen in the example of riddles-questions and riddles-tasks. The question form is veiled in riddles-allegories and riddles-descriptions. However, the question does not have to be expressed in words. After all, the riddle existed and exists truly only in oral form, and the question can also be conveyed by intonation. In addition, the questioning nature of the first part of riddles-allegories and riddles-descriptions is indicated by the need to answer only their first part. The answer suggests the existence of a question.
But that's where the similarity ends. Some differences have already been discussed, but we note one more important one. Riddles-allegories and riddles-descriptions differ from riddles-questions and riddles-tasks in that they are created on the basis of poetic imagery, they surprise us with poetic pictures, artistic details; but riddles-questions, riddles-tasks are strong in their logic, a game not of the imagination, but of the mind. It seems that this is why in literature lessons at school a clear preference is given to riddles-allegories and riddles-descriptions. And among the people they enjoyed invariably great success. We know thousands of them, while riddles-questions and riddles-tasks are little known.
Thus, puzzles- this is an allegorical image of objects and phenomena of reality or their description, which is proposed to be solved.
Riddles game 1.
- This book contains many riddles of different peoples of our country - about man, and about animals, and about birds, and about plants, and about the earth, and about the sky, and about various objects ...
Riddles can be made to each other, but riddles can also be played together, like other games.
That's how they play puzzles Russian guys. They gather somewhere, sit down comfortably and start playing "cities". Each takes several cities, say ten.
In order not to forget your cities and not confuse them with others, you need to write them down on a piece of paper and keep this sheet in front of you.
The names of the cities of the players should not be repeated. If they are repeated, confusion and disputes will begin.
One of the players is appointed as a riddle. He must guess a dozen riddles.
Here he comes up with the first riddle. The players take turns approaching him and quietly, so that the others do not hear, say a guess.
Whoever fails to guess or guesses incorrectly, hands over one of his cities to the riddle.
How do they do it? The Riddler puts a badge next to the name of the city.
When all participants in the game have given an answer, the riddle makes a new riddle. It is guessed in the same way as the first.
After ten riddles, they look at who has how many cities left. It happens that some of the players will surrender all their cities.
Then a new riddle comes out and the game continues. He comes up with other riddles, and everyone guesses them. The one who guesses them.
The one who guesses correctly receives the city that he passed.
Then the third riddle comes out with his own new riddles, and everyone guesses them. After that, they look at who has how many cities left. The one who surrendered all his cities and failed to return them is forced to do some funny thing. This is where the game ends.
You can “hand over” not only cities, but also animals, birds, and parts of clothing - a hat, scarf, jacket, shirt, belt, shoes.
Riddles game 2.
This game is called "grandmother". They play "grandmother" like this. Everyone gets in a row (you can also play while sitting). The first is a riddle.Many participants in the game can guess it, but the answer cannot be said aloud. Only the one who is standing or sitting next to the riddle can say the answer out loud.
As soon as he guesses, he must make a new riddle to his neighbor. If he guesses it, he makes another riddle to his neighbor. So the riddles go along their chain to the end, and then they can return the opposite way.
But it is not always so easy for riddles to follow the chain. It happens that someone cannot guess the riddle or answers incorrectly. Then the neighbor asks him a second riddle. I could not guess this one either - they guess the third one for him. . Well, if he doesn’t guess the third one, let him go to the very end of the row. After that, the game continues. They play as long as they can come up with new puzzles.
15 difficult riddles that will make your head work and get distracted from everyday thoughts...

The layout according to the first option: 1 year - $100,000, 2 year - $115,000, 3 year - $130,000, 4 year - $145,000 and so on. The layout according to the second option: 1 year - $50,000 + $55,000 = $105,000, 2 year - $60,000 + $65,000 = $125,000, year 3 - $70,000 + $75,000 = $145,000, year 4 - $80,000 + $85,000 = $165,000 and so on.

10. You are sitting in a boat that floats in a pool. There is a heavy cast-iron anchor in the boat, not tied to the boat. What will happen to the water level in the pool if you drop your anchor into the water?
The water level will drop. While the anchor is in the boat, it displaces a volume of water that weighs as much as the anchor, its own weight and the weight of the cargo. If the anchor is thrown overboard, it will only displace the volume of water equal to the volume of the anchor, and not the weight, i.e. less, since the density of the anchor is greater than that of water.
11. A father with two sons went on a campaign. On their way they met a river, near the bank of which there was a raft. He stands on the water either a father or two sons. How to cross to the other side of the father and sons?

It is no secret that the riddle develops the thinking of both kids and adults. Riddles teach you to look at the world from a different angle, increase a person's knowledge, show how you can formulate the same thought in different ways.
Each time, thinking about guessing a new tricky question with a trick, a person becomes more attentive, in the process of guessing, memory and even speech hearing are trained.

You can talk a lot about the development of the child, about the benefits of various exercises, techniques. But do not forget that you need to not only read useful books and articles on the Internet, you need to put all this into practice. It is not as difficult and does not take as much time as it seems.
For example, good old (or new unusual) riddles! After all, this is still the method of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers! So you can entertain the child, while doing anything around the house! Older children can even read and solve riddles on their own, on their own or in company with friends, instead of spending an extra hour on social networks or playing endless shooting games. Riddles for children 10 years old are somewhat more complicated, more interesting than for kids, so do not be afraid that children will be bored guessing them.
Recently, more and more parents are trying to develop their baby from an early age, since everyone already knows about the faster assimilation of information and learning abilities at this particular age.
But when the baby grows up, often the enthusiasm of the parents disappears. And all the successes that have been achieved are gradually fading away.
And absolutely in vain! If the child continues to be interested, to maintain interest in development, in creativity, to notice his natural talents and develop them in every possible way, then in the future the parents will most likely have no problems - how to entertain the child? Or what to do with a child who is bored? And this, in fact, is a big problem of our time - children have forgotten how to play even with expensive “fancy” toys, which they usually now have in abundance, have forgotten how to play with friends in the yard, they have little company - they need a “mass entertainer”, an animator . And parents sincerely believe that this is how it should be - that we and our children simply grew up at different times. But pay attention: you probably know a family where the boy is passionate about sports, rides a bike all the time, plays football, in the summer he not only disappears in the river and climbs trees, but also puts up ads to earn extra money for a cool skateboard ...
And the girls are not all busy posting their next selfie on social networks, many have time to do origami, which is now fashionable, go in for music and gymnastics, dance and sports, draw and go to theater studios.
And if you don’t brush off children like an annoying fly, always depicting being busy and referring to fatigue (you must admit, we often do this), but make some efforts and show interest, then you can improve the life and life of a small person in such a way that He will be interested and you will not be a burden!
What are the riddles, you ask?
Yes, despite the fact that this is one of those activities that helps the child develop a “thinker”, think outside the box, show logic, recklessly look for a solution. It teaches to think, to master different topics.
Funny, interesting unusual riddles for children of 10 years old form a sense of humor, help to become active and inquisitive.
So go ahead: find, read riddles to children, slip children instead of primitive comics, assign prizes, let them compose their own riddles! In general, create together, and have fun!
